White Eagle
White Eagle (1941) is the eighth serial released by Columbia Pictures, starring Buck Jones. It was based on the 1932 Buck Jones Western film (also called White Eagle (1932 film)).
Plot
White Eagle, a Pony Express Rider, is the son of a massacred Army officer, who has been raised by an Indian tribe. He believes himself to be the son of the tribal chief and is working to get a peace treaty signed between the Indians and the white settlers. But 'Dandy' Darnell, a notorious and merciless outlaw, tries to keep the fight alive, by sending his henchmen to stir up trouble. This is partly due to his wish to grab hundreds of thousands of acres (hundreds of square kilometers) in the western territories for himself and, also, to incite a war with the Indians along the territory. This film was inspired by the 1932 movie of the same name, with Buck Jones again starring in the title role.
